The Continental Chronograph Watch 22001.GC101950, this Swiss Made watch immediately stands out thanks to its reflective green dial and sleek stainless steel mesh bracelet. It’s a modern looking timepiece. But it still keeps the classic chronograph features that watch fans love. Designed as a men’s sports watch. It makes a bold statement on the wrist while offering the kind of solid engineering you expect from a quality Swiss watch.

In this review, I’ll break down everything you need to know about this stainless steel watch. We’ll take a closer look at the design. How it wears, and the technical details that make it more than just good-looking.

Case and Material Quality.

At first glance, The Gents Continental Chronograph 22001.GC101950 impresses with its solid build and fine attention to detail. The case is made from 316L stainless steel. A material well known in the watch world for being tough and resistant to corrosion. With a 43mm case diameter, the watch feels substantial on the wrist without looking oversized or feeling uncomfortable. The 11.6mm thickness adds to its sporty presence while still allowing it to sit comfortably under everyday wear.

The polished stainless steel case gives the watch a clean, modern look that pairs perfectly with the reflective green dial. As light hits the case and the sunburst dial, the watch really comes to life. Showing off depth and character from different angles. The case flows smoothly into the stainless steel mesh bracelet, creating a seamless and well balanced design. True to Continental’s design philosophy, this model is built with durability and precision in mind, Making it a reliable choice for daily wear while still looking refined and stylish on the wrist.

The Green Dial: A Showstopper in Continental’s Latest Chronograph collection.

The most eye catching feature of the Continental Chronograph 22001.GC101950 is easily its reflective green dial. It uses a sunburst finish that spreads outward from the centre. Creating a dynamic look as light moves across the surface. From different angles, the dial shifts in tone and shine, giving the watch real depth and personality. The green colour feels bold but still refined, adding a modern edge to a classic chronograph design.

The dial follows a traditional Tri Compax layout. With three sub dials placed evenly across the face. This balanced setup keeps the design clean and easy to read, while each sub-dial has its own markers to stand out against the green background. The result is a dial that looks detailed without feeling cluttered.

The hour markers are applied stainless steel indices that sit slightly above the dial, adding a subtle three dimensional effect. They match the polished baton style hour and minute hands, which give the watch a sharp, sporty look. Both the markers and hands are filled with luminescent material, making the time easy to read even in low-light conditions. The chronograph seconds hand is slim and precise, staying true to the watch’s performance focused design. A neatly placed date window at 4 o’clock completes the dial, adding everyday practicality without disrupting the overall balance.

At 12 o’clock, the iconic Continental logo is prominently displayed, signifying the brand’s heritage and reputation for crafting high-quality timepieces.

Chronograph Functionality: Precision and Performance.

At the heart of the Gents Continental Chronograph 22001.GC101950 is its Swiss-made quartz movement, powered by the Ronda Z60. Known for their accuracy, quartz movements are incredibly reliable, and this watch is no exception. Both the main timekeeping and chronograph functions operate with precise, consistent performance.

The chronograph pushers, located at 2 o’clock and 4 o’clock, are smooth and satisfying to use. The top pusher starts and stops the chronograph, while the bottom pusher resets it—offering the tactile feedback that chronograph enthusiasts love.

Adding to its functionality, the watch includes a tachymeter scale along the dial’s outer rim. This classic feature allows you to measure speed over a fixed distance, paying homage to the motorsport heritage of traditional chronographs. With both chronograph and tachymeter features, the 22001.GC101950 is not just a stylish watch—it’s a precision tool for anyone who values performance as much as looks.

Stainless Steel Mesh Bracelet: A Touch of Modern Elegance.

Another highlight of the Gents Continental Chronograph 22001.GC101950 is its stainless steel mesh bracelet. Also called a Milanese bracelet, this style has grown in popularity thanks to its comfort, flexibility, and modern look. The finely woven stainless steel gives the watch a sleek, sophisticated feel that pairs perfectly with the reflective green dial.

The mesh bracelet is fully adjustable, so it fits snugly and comfortably on any wrist. Unlike traditional metal bracelets, it’s lightweight and breathable, making it ideal for long days or warmer weather. It also features a deployment clasp, which keeps the watch securely fastened while maintaining a clean, streamlined appearance—perfect for active lifestyles.

Aesthetically, the mesh bracelet gives a contemporary spin on the classic chronograph design. Its minimalist yet refined look complements the bold green dial, making the watch versatile enough for both formal events and casual outings. Beyond style, the bracelet adds to overall wearability, allowing the watch to transition effortlessly from day to night.

Swiss-Made Quartz Movement: Precision and Reliability.

At the heart of the Gents Continental Chronograph 22001.GC101950 is its Swiss-made quartz Ronda Z60 movement. That is a major plus for anyone who values accuracy and low maintenance. Swiss quartz movements are famous for their precision, typically keeping time within ±10 seconds per month, far more accurate than most mechanical watches.

Powered by a battery, this quartz movement also offers a longer power reserve than mechanical alternatives. On the 22001.GC101950, the battery can last around 2 to 3 years, depending on how often the chronograph is used. When it’s time for a replacement, the process is simple and doesn’t require extensive servicing.

For anyone who prioritises reliability and practicality, quartz is an excellent choice. It delivers precise timekeeping without daily winding or adjustments. While mechanical chronograph purists might appreciate the traditional craftsmanship, the quartz movement in this watch keeps it both affordable and incredibly accurate & a smart option for the modern wearer.

Water Resistance and Durability.

The Gents Continental Chronograph 22001.GC101950 comes with a water resistance of 100 meters (10 ATM), making it perfect for everyday wear and even recreational water activities like swimming or snorkeling.

Its stainless steel case and sapphire crystal glass add to the watch’s durability. Sapphire crystal is extremely scratch resistant, keeping the reflective green dial looking flawless over time. Together, these materials make the 22001.GC101950 a tough, reliable watch that can handle daily wear while still looking elegant on the wrist.

Versatility: From Day to Night.

One of the standout features of the Gents Continental Chronograph 22001.GC101950 is its versatility. The reflective green dial, polished stainless steel case, and mesh bracelet. Combine to create a watch that moves seamlessly between formal and casual settings. Whether paired with a sharp suit for a business meeting or dressed down for a weekend outing. It delivers style and confidence.

The bold yet refined green dial adds a modern twist to the classic chronograph design. This flexibility makes the watch a great choice for anyone looking for a timepiece that looks equally at home in the office, at a dinner, or on a casual weekend adventure without compromising on style or function.

Comparisons with Similar Timepieces.
